Australian International Political Economy Network (AIPEN)

For some time, it has been noticeable that, outside individual academic journals or associations, independent recognition of IPE scholarship in journal article form has been lacking. While there are independent and esteemed prize awards for academic book publishing, e.g. the British International Studies Association (BISA) International Political Economy Group Book Prize, the recognition of something similar for journal article accomplishment has been neglected. As a consequence, we are announcing the 2023 Australian International Political Economy Network (AIPEN) Richard Higgott Journal Article Prize.

We are very excited to announce that the 14th Australian International Political Economy Network (AIPEN) workshop will be held at the Australian National University on February 7-9, 2024.

Sponsored by the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, the ANU School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), and the Department of International Relations, the organising themes will broadly (but not exclusively) pertain to “Political Economy in an Age of Crises: Rethinking Power, Practice, and Regulatory Purpose.” Over the past quarter century, crises have been the rule, rather than the exception, posing challenges for regulators across “fast moving” discrete events like the Asian Financial Crises, the Global Financial Crisis, the COVID pandemic and “slow moving” or existential concerns for climate change, global health, and new technologies spanning social media through the rise of artificial intelligence.

We are delighted and very grateful to receive the 2022 AIPEN Richard Higgott Prize for our article “COVID-19 and the failure of the neoliberal regulatory state,” published in the journal, Review of International Political Economy. It is getting harder to remember just how extraordinary, and extraordinarily awful, the response to COVID-19 was in so many countries, and the sense of shock and disbelief that accompanied every step towards lockdowns and closed borders in the early months of 2020.
